Why is my Drolet ECO-65 glass sooting up quickly?

  William GoodwinSep 12, 2025
  If the glass on your Drolet Pellet stove is sooting up quickly, with a lazy, dark flame and the burn pot overfilling, it could be due to several factors: the stove or vent pipe being dirty (follow all cleaning procedures), the vent pipe being improperly installed (check the installation), blocked burn pot holes (remove and clean the burn pot), a blockage in the air intake pipe (inspect for foreign material), the combustion blower not working properly (check the blower and ensure there are no obstructions in the air intake), or bad pellets (try a different brand or type of pellets, ensuring they are dry).

Why does my Drolet Pellet stove auger motor stop and start?

  Cory NielsenSep 15, 2025
  The auger motor in your Drolet Pellet stove might stop and start because it is overheating and tripping the internal temperature shutoff (thermal protector). To resolve this, start by emptying the hopper. Then, remove the auger motor, remove the screws on the steel plate holding the auger shaft to the auger housing, rotate the bottom end of the auger shaft down, and pull the shaft out of the stove. Inspect the shaft for damage or foreign material. Also, check the auger housing for damage and clean it thoroughly. Repeat the process with the burn pot auger motor.

Why does my Drolet ECO-65 smell like smoke inside my house?

Another possibility is a bad gasket on the exhaust blower housing or cleanout trap (inspect the gasket on the exhaust blower housing and cleanout trap gaskets, ensuring all bolts are tight).

What to do if my Drolet ECO-65 Pellet stove shuts off?

  If your Drolet Pellet stove shuts off, it could be due to several reasons. The airflow pressure switch hose or pressure tap might be blocked (unhook the air hose and blow through it; clear any blockage with a thin wire if needed). The air inlet, burn pot, interior combustion air chambers, combustion blower, or exhaust pipe may be blocked (follow cleaning procedures in the maintenance section). The vent pipe might be incorrectly installed (check the installation criteria). The airflow pressure switch wire connections could be faulty (check the connectors). The airflow pressure switch wires might be loose (check the connectors). The exhaust blower may have failed (ensure it turns on; check for power; a technician may be needed). The control board might not be sending power to the exhaust blo...
